UPDATE 7/4: I’ve put the remaining books at the Center in TianMu, as it seemed more convenient for a lot of people. Happy reading.
Here’s a list of 125 books that don’t need to stay on the shelf, and they are all free for the taking. It’d be nice if you can trade something interesting I haven’t read. You can take as many as you want, and I’ll drop them off at the Livingroom with your name on them. Just send an email or leave a comment with the books you want.

Sure. I’ll leave them at the Living Room with your name on them. Just ask the bartender.
What non-philosophical books can you trade?
Let me get back to you on that in the morning. If you’re into audiobooks, I can positively bury you in good stuff.
I want Lord of the Rings Trilogy… I don’t know where is “the living room” but you can mail it to me, I will pay postage.
That’s a good collection. i’ll leave the book with the bartender at the Living Room. The Living Room is located at:

Thanks, and thanks again for sharing your books.
Offpeak, the OP, can confirm this, but I think the books are no longer available.
Perhaps the title of the thread can be changed to reflect this.
Thanks Fee. I’ve changed the title accordingly.
There are still a lot of books (about 90) which I’ve put at The Center in Tianmu. THey are nice there, and you can browse at your leisure.
Thanks for changing the title of the thread, offpeak.
One question–are the books you put at the center for borrowing? Or can we stop by and take the books we want?
Just curious if the Center is more of lending library.
Thanks.
What exactly is “The Center”?
Anyone know the address for it?

It’s the community center, J, where folks go for semi-pro shrinks. A friend told me…yeah, a friend.
I don’t need a shrink, but I do want that Sandman book on his list.
